Abbadi (tribe)


The Abbadi are one of the largest Arab tribes in Jordan. Abbadi is the second most common surname in Jordan. They are descended from "Qahtan"
The Abbaddi tribe are particularly concentrated in central Jordan and its capital Amman, but have significant presence throughout Jordan. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the tribe fought in bloody tribal battles with other Jordanian tribes, which resulted in either control of more lands or displacement as a result of these wars. Jordanian poets sung about the tribe's power and the spread of its territory, "Abbad from Stream to Stream," Meaning that their lands extend from the Zarqa River to Al Bahath stream. This denotes the size of their monastery as well as their power.
